There is a married man

Perhaps Chen Liang's massage had an effect, and Ai Qing persisted for the next two days. When the rice was harvested and looked at the full grains of rice, Ai Qing was extremely happy.

The returned rice must be dried and dehumidified, on the one hand to be able to easily remove the husks, and on the other hand to prevent mildew during storage.So the most frequent thing that Ai Qing and Chen Liang did in the past few days was to put the rice on the mat spread out in the front yard and use a wooden rake to keep turning it to dry.

Smelling the fragrance of rice constantly wafting from the courtyard, Ai Qing suddenly remembered a sentence in his book when he was studying, which said "the more the sun shines, the more fragrant the rice will be". Now it seems that it is true.

The two worked together for another week or so before drying out all the rice.

This year is undoubtedly a good year. Those who have never encountered insect disasters, droughts or floods, each household has reaped a lot.For Chen Liang’s family’s four mu of land, the output of the first-class field is about four shi per mu, and the yield of the second-class field is slightly worse, with two and a half shi. He kept the three shi for his own use, and Chen Liang planned to sell all the remaining ten shi for silver taels. ,in case for need.

"Do these have to be hulled?" Ai Qing helped pack the rice.

"No, except for the ones sold in the town, I store them all for my own use." As he spoke, Chen Liang put the sun-dried rice into the rice storage room, took out a stone, put it in a sack and put it on a wooden cart.

"Where are we going?" Ai Qing walked to Chen Liang's side and helped push the wooden cart.

"The village commune, the only place in the village where there are stone mills."

When we arrived at the commune, there were already many families waiting to mill rice. When they saw Chen Liang and his wife coming, they greeted them.

After the greeting, the two stood at the end of the long line.

"Chen Liang, your family has had a bumper harvest this year. Look at this millet, how clever it is." Standing in front of Ai Qing and the others were Chen Er and his wife from the west of the village, and it was Chen Er who was talking.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law's family is not bad either." Chen Liang replied with a smile.

"Hehe, how can it be? In our village, if you say that Brother Chen Liang is the second most capable person, no one dares to admit that he is the first. Now that he has married a beautiful wife and is so diligent, he is not envious of the dead. "The second sister-in-law Chen continued, as expected of a person with a lot of experience, what she said was beautiful, killing three birds with one stone: she not only praised Chen Liang, but also praised Ai Qing, and also implied that Ai Qing married the right person, so don't be promiscuous.

In fact, it’s no wonder that people in the village love to think about it. People in the countryside usually don’t even dare to think about a person as exquisite as Ai Qing. Xing went out of the wall, deeply afraid that he would put a big green hat on himself at some point.

Ai Qing didn't think too much about it, but when he heard the villagers praise Chen Liang, his heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, which made everyone around him stunned.

Chen Liang stood in front of Ai Qing calmly, blocking the sight from ahead.When Xu Shi realized the rudeness just now, the villagers smiled awkwardly and turned around quickly.

Everyone has a love of beauty, regardless of gender.The people in the village were only momentarily fascinated by Ai Qing's clean and beautiful smile, and they did what they did just now, and they didn't really have any unreasonable thoughts about Ai Qing.

After the two men had crushed a stone of rice and peeled it with a stone, it was Shen Shi. They tied the sack and put it on the cart, and the two of them pushed the wooden cart together and walked towards their house.

As the sun set in the west, the orange sunlight illuminated the earth, dragging the shadows of the two people far away...

ten days later.

"Then be careful on the road, and come back early after selling the rice." Ai Qing who was standing outside the door carefully instructed.

"Well, if you need help, you can ask Mrs. Wang for help." Chen Liang replied after taking the water bottle handed over by Ai Qing.

"Oh, let me tell you, when will you two be so affectionate, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister, Mrs. Wang." Mrs. Wang joked aside.

"Okay, let's go, don't make Brother Wang wait too long." Embarrassed by Mrs. Wang's words, Ai Qing quickly pushed Chen Liang and let him go on the road.

"Well, then I'm leaving." Chen Liang held Ai Qing's hand tightly before letting go.

Watching Chen Liang off, Ai Qing reluctantly turned around until she couldn't see the figure, only to see Mrs. Wang standing behind him, looking at him and smiling.

"Ah, sister-in-law, you haven't entered the house yet?" Ai Qing felt very embarrassed, her own thoughts seemed to have been seen through, and her face couldn't help but blush.

"Hehe, sister-in-law understands, this is the case for newlyweds. At noon, don't go back, stay at sister-in-law's house for dinner." After speaking, Wang's sister-in-law pushed Ai Qing into her house.

Thinking it was hard to shirk, Ai Qing had no choice but to agree.

"Sister-in-law, where's Xiaohu?" Ai Qing wondered, why did this little guy who always sticks to him whenever he saw him disappear.

"Hey, he must have gone somewhere else, and he won't be back until dinner time, so let him go." Mrs. Wang answered with water.

"Oh, that's it." Ai Qing was a little disappointed, originally she wanted to help take care of the child, after all, Xiaohu is also quite fun, now... "Sister-in-law, let me help, I can't eat your food and let you do it." .”

"Hehe, you just like to be polite, but it's alright. My sister-in-law can't compare to your craftsmanship. If you let that brat know that you did it, I don't know how excited I should be." Handing the spatula in his hand to Ai Qing, Mrs. Wang lit a fire and went.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Wang said, after playing, when Wang Xiaohu came back and heard that Ai Qing cooked lunch, he was really happy, and kept saying "Auntie's cooking is the best", "I really want to Eat", "When will it be ready", the pouting is too cute.

The lunch ended lively amid Xiaohu's cheers.

the other side.

After Chen Liang and Wang Laoshi transported the rice to the town, it was already noon, and it was too late for lunch, so they hired someone to help deliver the rice directly to Chen Ji Rice Shop.

The owner of Chenji Rice Shop is from Chenjia Village, and he is very trustworthy to the villagers, so everyone usually sells rice to him.

After calling it (chen) by weighing (cheng), there are fifteen shi of rice, and the two each have half.

After paying the hired workers, the two took the money and walked towards the inn.

After drinking and eating.

"Brother, brother, I'm going to buy some cloth, will you go?" Wang Laoshi said to Chen Liang.

Thinking of the increasingly cooler weather, Chen Liang felt that it was time to buy some clothes for Ai Qing, so he agreed.

In a clothing store.

"Hey, brother, why don't you just buy ready-made ones? It's expensive, and it's not as cost-effective as buying cloth." Wang Laoshi saw that Chen Liang was gesticulating with the finished clothes, so he whispered in his ear, "Will your daughter-in-law do it? Let sister-in-law do it."

"Brother Wang, it's okay, the clothes are pretty good." Chen Liang is very happy to spend money for Ai Qing, and the craftsmanship of the masters in the shop is also very exquisite.

"You, look at this dress, it's so slippery, it's no wonder it's not good, but it's too expensive. Hey, I said, why didn't I realize that you love your wife so much." Wang honestly joked, but the dress is indeed Yes, I wonder if I should also buy a set for my wife and son.

The two came out of the clothing store, agreed on a time and place to meet, and then separated. Wang Laoshi wanted to buy some rouge for his wife, and some candy and toys for Xiaohu, while Chen Liang went to the pharmacy.

Chen Liang arrived at a medical clinic familiarly.Seeing a guest coming to the door, the little boy hurriedly greeted him, "Do you want to see a doctor and buy medicine?"

"Well, do you still have the moisturizing ointment that was sold last time?" Chen Liang asked without further ado.

"Ah, oh, yes, I'll go and get it." The boy is not used to seeing it. There are a lot of small men's houses these days, and there are quite a few people using this cream. The emperor issued a decree allowing men to marry Later, especially; the reason why he hesitated just now was just because Chen Liang was really handsome, but he didn't like women, which was a pity.

Passing the ointment to Chen Liang, the boy asked again, "Do you need anything else?"

"Well, is there anything to protect the hands and skin?" Chen Liang felt his heart tighten when he thought of Ai Qing's white and smooth hands being scratched because of cutting crops.

"Yes, this is a new one in the store. It's the best for cuts, oil scalds, fires, etc. Wait for a while, and I'll bring it right away." After finishing speaking, the boy ran towards the inner hall .

After trying it, Chen Liang felt that the skin lotion was really good, so he bought two cans.

After paying the money and leaving the pharmacy, Chen Liang followed Ai Qing's instructions and went to the grocery store to buy five catties of vegetable oil and some seasonings, and went to the pork shop to cut three catties of lean meat and two catties of ribs.After everything was ready, I checked the time and rushed to the pier.

When the two returned to the village, the sun had already set.

As soon as Chen Liang entered the yard, he saw Ai Qing coming out of the kitchen with a bucket.

"Hey, you're back." Putting down the barrel, Ai Qing hurried over to share the items in Chen Liang's hands.

"Those, take them back to the kitchen. I'll put them in the room." Chen Liang said, and walked to the main room.

After Chen Liang put away his things, he went back to the kitchen, only to see Ai Qing lighting a fire, "Are you going to cook?"

"You didn't eat dinner, I'll order some noodles."

"I'll light the fire." After speaking, Chen Liang took the flint from Ai Qing's hand.

Standing in front of the stove, Ai Qing washed the lean meat Chen Liang just bought, cut off a piece and chopped it into pieces, threw it into the hot oil pan, making a chi-chi sound; took out two eggs from the cupboard, broke them, added a little of salt and stir together.When the lean meat is about the same, drive the meat to the side of the pot, pour the eggs in the bowl into the pot, poke them into small pieces with a spatula after shaping, stir fry with the lean meat next to it, and then add some wall pot Hot water, cover the pot and wait for the water to boil.

"How is the rice selling this time?" Ai Qing sat back beside Chen Liang after being idle for a while.

"Well, not bad." Chen Liang said and licked some wood into the stove.

"Oh, leave it to me." Ai Qing stretched out her hand after finishing speaking.

"Ah?" In fact, Chen Liang originally wanted to hand over the money to Ai Qing, but he didn't expect him to speak so actively.

"What 'ah'," Ai Qing pouted, and continued, "I'm careful, it's best for me to take care of it." In fact, Ai Qing thought in his heart, [If you have money, who knows if you will? Go to the brothel again, although I didn't do anything last time, but as the saying goes, 'Walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet'. 】

Looking at Ai Qing who had a face of reason, Chen Liang just smiled and stopped arguing. He took out four pens and three hundred wen from his chest and gave it to Ai Qing.

"No more?" Taking the money from Chen Liang, Ai Qing counted it carefully.

"Well, some clothes, meat and oil are spent," Chen Liang replied honestly, and then added, "The water in the pot should be hot."

"Ah, that's right." After hurriedly putting away the money, Ai Qing ran to take off the lid of the pot and poured the dough in.

At night, when Chen Liang returned to the room after taking a shower, Ai Qing had already fallen asleep, and the quilt was kicked aside.

After covering Ai Qing again, Chen Liang carefully laid down beside him.

As if feeling the source of warmth, Ai Qing climbed up, adjusted her posture, and fell asleep again, muttering, "Well, give me all the money... I want to go to a brothel... Don't talk about it , no way..."

Gently looking at the person lying on top of him, listening to the babbling, Chen Liang smiled, and couldn't help but tighten his arms around the body in his arms.

The author has something to say: The rice storage room is actually a room with a width of 1.5 meters and a length of about 4 meters to store goods with partitions. Every household in our country has that kind of storage room.

One stone equals how many catties, this seems to be not fixed, because the setting background is relatively close to the Song Dynasty, so one stone = 118 catties.Ten stones of rice, after husking into rice, will reduce the weight. I calculate it according to the yield rate of 75%.

Shen Shi: Beijing time 15-17 o'clock.

Du Niang’s information: The price of rice in the early Northern Song Dynasty was roughly 300-600 wen per shi, and in the middle period it was 600-700 wen per shi. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was a bit high due to the turmoil, which was unreasonable, so I set the price of rice at about 600 wen. .

1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10000 copper coins.
